Those ads never stopped running. I see a few every day in the Columbia student newspaper (usually they're requestiong $8,500 and right on up), and occasionally I'll see one in certain magazines. Usually they want a blonde haired, blue eyed woman, 5'7" or taller, with high SAT or other test scores. I've seen a few requesting Jewish or Asian women with good test scores and in excellent health. I very rarely see African-Americans or Latinos being solicited that way.
Regarding price of adoption--doesn't it depend on the circumstances? I read Dan Savage's book on how he and his boyfriend adopted a baby, and in the conclusion he mentioned that it was about $20,000, and that didn't count transportation and other incidental costs (for example, they paid for the birth mother's living expenses those last few months).
